The person who did the subtitles is just as stupid.

I honestly want to know how many of those you guys actually knew, and didn't. Be honest. The map thing was fucking funny. Be honest, if you didn't know most of the questions he asked, let us know, haha! I could answer pretty much everything he asked, correctly.

 

[Seb!]

Oh, no. But, to be honest I would not have known where Sri Lanka was until a few weeks ago.

 

[Miz]

I knew mostly every question. But mainly because there is like 5 maps in my room.

Somewhere I have seen the video before...

 

[UndeadDragon]

Broken YouTube tags? I can't see the vid here.

EDIT: Some of those people are incredibly stupid.

Proud to be an American! Now if only I could find myself on a map...

 

[Darthfett]

1. Name a country that starts with a U.
Uganda, a country in Africa. I find it funny that I didn't think of the U.S. either.
2. What countries are in the Coalition of the willing?
Coalition of the willing? Never heard of it.
3. What's the religion of Israel?
Jewish. Duh.
4. What religion are buddhist monks?
Honestly didn't know 'buddhism' off the top of my head.
5. Who won the Vietnam War?
As they all should know, the US pulled out of Vietnam, so North Vietnam won.
6. Who is Fidel Castro?
I have no idea.
7. What is the currency used in the UK?
I would have said Euro.
8. Sri Lanka on the map?
No idea.
9. Iran on the map?
I have a general location (I know it's there, not just a guess. ), but not an exact one.
10. Kofi Anan is a drink, true or false?
I have no idea what that is. Now that I've heard answers, my guess wouldn't be a fair guess.
11. Who is Tony Blair?
A famous person would be all that I can guess.
12. Which countries are in the axis of evil?
I would have guessed this one wrong as well, thinking it was from the WWII/Cold War era.
13. Who was the first man on the moon?
Neil Armstrong. I remember the guy who flipped a coin against him or something to see who would be first was named Buzz.
14. What is a mosque?
No idea.
15. How many kidneys does a person have?
Two.
16. What is collateral damage?
I would have said it's damage that comes as sort of a side effect.
17. What are Hiroshima and Nagasaki famous for?
The nuclear bombs the US used against Japan hit these two cities.
18. What is Al Quada?
I know they were responsible for the 9/11 attacks, and that they're Islamic, but not sure about much else.

Obviously they've edited out any intelligent answers, I'm sure they had to look hard to get some of those stupid answers, and I'm also sure that some of those people were joking when they answered.

Uganda, a country in Africa. I find it funny that I didn't think of the U.S. either.

That's exactly the same one as I thought of

 

[Ghan]

Kofi Anan was the the former leader of the United Nations Security Council, I believe. I'm afraid I don't know what his official title was, but he has been replaced by a man named Ban Ki Moon.

 

[DM Cross]

I would estimate that I knew about 70% of the answers.

Kofi who?

 

[Seb!]

Kofi Anan was the the former leader of the United Nations Security Council, I believe. I'm afraid I don't know what his official title was, but he has been replaced by a man named Ban Ki Moon.

Secretary General.

 

[Samael88]

I could answer almost everyone, it sure helps with having an almost photographic memory and a lot of spare time

The only one I actually had to guess on was the Cofi Anan thing.
If I recall correctly he was a president or something in africa. I remember that he was black and that the actor Morgan Freeman looks a lot like him

 

[DM Cross]

While we're all on the topic of Kofi Whoever, I would like to comment that I found it hilarious that everyone seemed to think the English dude was asking about coffee.

Which, as a secondary and unrelated point, is disgusting in my opinion.

 

[UndeadDragon]

I probably know about 3/4 of them. Some of them I really didn't know. I did, however, know how many sides a triangle has

 

[Ninva]

Some of these questions are kinda silly. They're all basic questions about things we should know, yet there are so many things we Americans should know. How do you expect us to know it all? Why should we care about collateral damage? We call it friendly fire, or we say our soldiers blew up an ally base. The axis of evil question was ridiculous too. No one in America takes Bush seriously... or at least no one I know.

1. Name a country that starts with a U.

I wouldn't count US or UK as a country. More like a nation, maybe that's just me.

 

[Seb!]

Yeah, I agree. That's kind of cheap. You have to assume that they know the name of their country.

We call it friendly fire, or we say our soldiers blew up an ally base.

Collateral Damage is when you have civilian casualties. Like if you blew up a random Iraqi's house with a misfired mortar and killed someone, that would be collateral damage because you blew up non-militant property. And killed a guy.

When you fire on allies it's friendly fire, difference.

Islamic extremist group that was born out of the Soviet retreat of Afghanistan. They hate everything American.

It was created through the war, not the retreat, funded by the US through proxies.
